Content wise, it's excellent. Plenty of good stuff there, and it gives all the information you could want about the team and the car.
Presentation wise (and I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record here), the site's all in flash, and that's bad. For a start, my machine at work doesn't have flash, so I can't see the site at all. But secondly, even on my home machine, the text is too small to read comfortably, and being flash, there's no way to resize it. On a normal site, I'd just hit Ctrl-+, and the font size would increase. But that just doesn't work on your site because it's flash. On a related note, the text overlaps the titles and separators. I'm almost certain that it looks fine on your computer, but flash's font handling isn't all it could be, and the rendering differs across different systems, so it looks like this on mine:
It wouldn't be so bad if the site needed to be in flash to give you some whizzy functionality, but it's completely unnecessary here. There's nothing on the site that couldn't be done (and done better) in plain HTML.
Also, please don't play music at me. I eventually worked out how to turn it off, although it wasn't obvious at first glace. But quite apart from the blatant copyright infringement, it's just not a good idea in general. For some reasons why, see for example, http://www.wowwebdesigns.com/power_guides/music_off.php .
Just MHO...
